Most players reach a point where studying more does not change anything. The technical game is solid and the leak is somewhere else. The thinking that does not stop after a bad session. Decisions that get worse late at night. The way results decide how you feel about your own game.
I work with poker players on building the structure and routines that keep their decision making consistent.
I work only with poker players, on the mental and cognitive side of the job. Performance coach, psychologist by training. Argentine. I am not a clinical psychologist and I do not do clinical work.
My path was not a straight line. Before poker I coordinated the mental side for every team at Furious Gaming, one of the largest esports organisations in Latin America. Counter-Strike, League of Legends, Valorant. That is where I learned how a high performance competitor actually thinks.
In 2020 a friend introduced me to a high-stakes player. That connection became a study group, and then a decision: continue the esports career I had built for years, or move to poker, a game I barely knew. I chose poker. The more time I spent with players, the more obvious it was how much of this work was still not being done.
I am not a player. I do know pressure. I had my own difficult period, with high anxiety and isolation, while I was studying the exact subject that was supposed to explain it. I do not tell that story to sound close to you. I tell it because I understand what it is like when your own head is the problem, and because it is the reason I will never sell you a clean solution that does not exist.
We start where things actually break for you, and we build from there. Four things run through all of it.
You cannot control variance. You can control the quality of your decisions, how the week is built, and how you arrive at the table. That is where we put the attention.
The goal is not to feel calm. Nerves are your body preparing. The work is to keep deciding well while you feel them.
“I am playing badly” leads nowhere. “I do not trust my river check-raises as a bluff” is something we can review on Tuesday. Most of the work is the move from the first one to the second.
This is not a fixed trait. We practise it, we review it, and we adjust it, session by session.
The structure holds a floor while you go through a bad period. That part is real and it is mine.
It does not resolve grief, a separation or clinical anxiety. I do not do clinical work. When that is what someone needs, I say it and I refer to a professional who does it. I prefer to say this in advance than to promise it and fail.
I work with players who have won Triton, EPT and WPT titles and WSOP bracelets, and with players who are building the professional base of a career. I also run workshops at events like the WSOP.
Working with him I've improved my relationship with myself and others. I'm grateful and proud to have him in my corner, and consider him a friend and an ally.
